After fleeing New York City for the countryside during a global calamity, Rebecca finds herself alone in her family’s neglected farmhouse. She must do her best to manage the anxieties and expectations of her aging relatives as they clash over whether to sell the old house, all while surrounded by doorknobs and relationships that are both in desperate need of repair.
Thistles keenly explores family secrets, queerness and the desperate desire to be accepted. Tragedy lurks as emotions are buried under ancestral floorboards.
Produced by White Horse Theater Company in association with Anthony W. Lopez.
